Seven Days in Usha Village a Conversation with Dr. Sebi 20 Years Later

Seven Days in Usha Village: A Conversation With Dr. Sebi 20 Years Later is a nonfiction memoir that marks the 20th anniversary of the author’s journey to Dr. Sebi’s healing village, Usha, in Honduras, Central America. And yet this updated version of the original book is more than a 20th anniversary remembrance. Seven Days in Usha Village: A Conversation With Dr. Sebi 20 Years Later is, in a way, a reference book that offers a firsthand, up-close look at Dr. Sebi’s practice as a master herbalist and natural healer. In the seminal new chapter, “Dr. Sebi Shared More That Week in Honduras: His Methodology,” that gem of information is an in depth look at Dr. Sebi’s healing method the African Bio Mineral Balance Therapy and his Usha Research Institute. Also present are the names of some of the herbs Dr. Sebi used for more than 40 years.

The Introduction, Prologue, and end of the original book have also changed, with a full circle tribute to Dr. Sebi by the person who helped launch his career in the United States, Adio Kuumba Akil.
